Advances in Methods and Practices in Psychological Science

Aims & Scope

Articles in AMPPS will not compete with those in other APS journals.

For example, empirical articles in AMPPS may involve contributions from multiple research teams or be of larger scale than those published in traditional empirical journals.

Other AMPPS articles will cover current practices and considerations relevant to open science in psychology, and these will be unique to the journal.

In addition, AMPPS publishes Registered Replication Reports (RRRs) and multi-lab collaborative studies (e.g., adversarial collaborations, consortium studies, team efforts at replication).

AMPPS welcomes metascience contributions that examine research practices in the field.

All articles in AMPPS will strive to adhere to best practices for open and transparent research, with de-identified data, code, and materials publicly available to the fullest extent possible.

Empirical submissions to AMPPS are expected to be eligible for all three open-science badges available in APS journals (Open Data, Open Materials, Preregistration).

Authors are encouraged to provide video recordings of their testing settings and experimental procedures.
